Coronavirus: Screening
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the contract with Serco for managing access to covid-19 testing, what penalties can be imposed under that contract in the event that people cannot secure a test; and who is responsible for monitoring the performance of that contract.
- Answer
-
Serco is contracted to operate a proportion of the test locations. It is not responsible for the scheduling of access to COVID-19 tests.
Contractual penalties are generally unenforceable under English law and are therefore not included in this contract.
